mines at 35 PSI all around but im gonna change it to 37 in the front and 35 in the rear. 41 is max
Tire pressure... where do you keep it at?
I was wondering at what PSI do you keep the stock tires at?

does this for the type-S wheels also? Or it doesnt matter?Edub said:34-35
I don't think it matters.. What does it say on the TLS door?
Usually, when I take my car in for service, they set it back to 32PSI.. then I go and put them at 34
Cold temp.

i had them at 36 front and back, but when i took it in for service it was brought back down to 32:dunno:
Why do you guys keep the pressure so high? I keep it at 32 all around all the time. It handles best at that pressure around here.
Hey, that's the Accord's settings!Stupid dealer sets it to

well i tried both 32 and 36, i feel that the car accelerate faster at 36 which makes sense. imo our stock tires are horrible in handling to begin with anyway so i have given up on that.daverman said:Why do you guys keep the pressure so high?

Hmm, i have 'em at 32 all around.....
Sure the car accelerates faster at 36; the contact patch is reduced so rolling resistance is also reduced. Problem is, braking distance also increases!rominl said:well i tried both 32 and 36, i feel that the car accelerate faster at 36 which makes sense. imo our stock tires are horrible in handling to begin with anyway so i have given up on that.
Also your tires are more likely to wear down the center first.
Ah. what effect does having different tire pressure for the front and back tires have on car handling? I don't know for sure, but in general it's better to have your tires slightly overinflated than slightly underinflated. Underinflated tires can be real dangerous. Can anyone say, "Ford Explorer"?
you are absolutely right. well after driving my old camry for so long (with that cheesy brake) i am used to keeping quite a bit of distance from the car in the front so a longer braking distance isn't a problem for me so far.daverman said:

Remember - I have Kumho tires. They have a tad bit lower load rating, so they HAVE to be inflated a bit more than stock. I get better performance out of the higher setting with a perfect wear patch.
